The review of this Book prepared by Meghan Wotring

A 15-year-old girl is forced to work for her evil stepmother after her father died. Like every commoner she dreams of going to the ball, meeting Prince Charming, and having a luxurious life in a palace. When she is chosen to marry the prince she finds herself trapped in a cobweb of etiquette, and people trying to force her to be something that she is not.
Ella is a headstrong and determined commoner who loves to read and to be outside. She is very smart, and loves to learn when she is interested in something. When she has to learn rules and needlepoint at the castle she feels bored and out of place.
Jed, her tutor and best friend, is also very important in this story. He dreams but never really takes action about anything. An example is that he wants to start a refugee shelter, but since the prince won't fund him, he has almost given up. Now Ella must choose between a life of luxuries and riches or happiness. Can Ella choose what is right and live happily ever after?
